Thanks nostr:npub1qm72nur0wn8cdgt0unp0amzssuqxg03tzpd4r87e856nxtz344fs6g74md. What’s the best way to get/set the quantity for products? Unless I missed it, I don’t see a way in the API docs.
Right now there's no separate endpoint for that. You'd need to fetch the current POS settings, find the product, adjust its quantity and repost the complete settings to the update POS endpoint.

Ah thanks so much Dennis! Good to know there’s a way. I’ll give this a shot. 🤙
There is no products api at all. A typical integration would create an invoice on BTCPay with thetotal order amount, similar as you do with traditional payment providers.
Yup, that’s what I’m doing now but inventory amounts need to be decremented. Sounds like what Dennis said will work tho.
On another note, is there an easier alternative to these methods of deploying? I would like to try and add the endpoint if I can.
Ah ok so you try to use point of sale as some kind of ecommerce shop. As Dennis said, you need to setwhole JSON of products via template parameter. This will quickly run into limitations, maybe better use a shop we have integrations to already, no need to code. https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Guide/
For deployment, easiest is docker deployment which is even more simplifyed on lunanode. https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Docker/
Alternatively use 3rd party host but has drawbacks https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/ThirdPartyHosting/
Thanks! Yes, working on a custom e-commerce shop. It’s a small list of items so hopefully this’ll be sufficient for now. Is this the limitation you had in mind?
So the items should be sent back in the PUT request with the same structure except under the “template” key. Is that right?
